In the closing stages of the game Aaron Hunt added a third goal, giving Hamburg their second win in a row.

Colak goal gives Lilly’s edge over BVB
Dortmund had a scrappy start in Darmstadt and conceded the opener through Terrance Boyd after 21 minutes.

But a second-half goal from Antonio-Mriko Colak saw the underdogs retake the lead and afterwards fend off Dortmund’s charge for a second equaliser.
Eintract Frankfurt are still in third place despite losing 3-0 in Leverkusen. Chicharito fired the hosts in front with an artistic strike and added a second goal to his tally after the break. Germany international Kevin Volland provided Leverkusen’s third goal after 78 minutes.
